Zhongfu Linsheng carries his wife by riding a motorcycle on the way to returning home in Jiubao Township in Ruijin City, east China's Jiangxi Province, Feb. 9, 2015. Zhongfu Linsheng and his wife have been working in a shoe factory in Quanzhou, southeast China's Fujian Province, 492 kilometers away from their hometown. For family union during the Spring Festival, they started off from Quanzhou on 6 a.m. on Feb. 9 by motorcycle and finally arrived at home after a 12-hour trip. The Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, which falls on Feb. 19 this year, is known as the world's biggest migration, with millions of migrant workers traveling vast distances for family reunions. Some of them do it by motorcycle, often riding for days. (Xinhua/Wang Shen)
